[QUOTE=ReznorT;16152229]What?[/QUOTE] He had some shitty 3GHz dual core CPU, probably an AMD, then he got some quad core and GTA IV ran a lot better.

You need to go on MS's site and request a 64-bit disc.

Rich boy
I bought a dual core (AMD Athlon 64 X2 6000+ - 3.0 Ghz) for the computer I put together recently. I mostly play Source-based games and it works very well.
I kinda have a similar question and i felt it didnt deserve a thread. Intel E8400 or AMD Phenom II X4? I'll be playing Crysis and Prototype alot...
[QUOTE=ReznorT;16150291]:froggonk: Enjoy your faulty quadcore [/QUOTE] You do realize that tri core CPUs usally have a fully functioning forth core, and can be unlocked on some motherboards, right?
what how

If you are going to buy the i7 920 see if you live near a Microcenter. They have it on sale for $199, $80 less then newegg. Or you could go with the Q9550 which is $169.

[QUOTE=The mouse;16182287]Fuck you AMD and ATI pwn Intel and nvidia also fixed[/QUOTE] they're both good companies keep the fanboy shit to yourself
I have a friend who has jsut about the same build as me.Except i have Q6600 @ 2.8ghz he has a E8400 @2.8ghz.I dont like overclocking much so i just do a bit.Anyways when we play GTA4 i get about 15-20 more FPS than he does. Id say go for a quad because you never know you might see a game you want to play and you will be set pretty good if its a higher end game. Thats my take.
Why did he downclock his E8400?
[QUOTE=nubcakez;16165628]You do realize that tri core CPUs usally have a fully functioning forth core, and can be unlocked on some motherboards, right?[/QUOTE] that's why he said that, hurf durf
tri core 4 core[b] may not [/b]work properly
[QUOTE=PrismatexV3;16183463]Why did he downclock his E8400?[/QUOTE] I think i may have his mixed up.Thats on me.I always get confused too many Core2duos.Ill find out what it is.All i know is hes has his core2duo @ 2.8ghz.
[QUOTE=Ergolicious;16150274]Tricores ftw.[/QUOTE] Eh, there actually quads, with a few bios tweaks (phenom 1 not 2, Not sure about 2) you can unlock that hidden core :-) [editline]10:08AM[/editline] [media]http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=VGKBXgbmCOk[/media] this actually.

[QUOTE=ghostofme;16187589]"Fen-um." "Pro-cess-or"[/QUOTE] Man that was annoying. There have also been reports of dual cores having 2 extra cores unlocked. Would be cool if the 7750 I get has 4 functioning cores.
I think that's only for phenom II's not kumas.
^ tl;dr dual cores are better
